GOALKEEPER Ben Wilson rescued a point for Coventry City with a controversial 95th-minute equaliser against Blackburn.
The Sky Blues were on course to suffer a 1-0 defeat at Ewood Park – a result which would’ve seen them drop vital points in their bid to steal the last Championship play-off place.
But Wilson had other ideas – coming up for a late corner and bundling the into the back of the net.
Coventry fans were quick to comment on their stopper’s shock goal with one saying: “My keeper.”
Another said: “SUPER BEN WILSON IN GOAL.”
And another said: “Super Ben Wilson!!!!!!”

They tweeted: “From a corner, Coventry’s goalkeeper Wilson handled the ball into the net.”
And replays appeared to show the 30-year-old did indeed handle the ball before firing home.
One Rovers fan replied: “100% controlled ball with hand.”
Another said: “What a shambles.”
And another said: “Honestly didn’t think the officiating could get any worse in this league – I was wrong.”
Coventry’s controversial equaliser has kept them within touching distance of the final Championship play-off place.
Mark Robins’ troops are within a point of sixth-placed Blackburn, although they have played a game more than Rovers.
Coventry will be back in action on Saturday, hosting relegation battlers Reading.
Blackburn, meanwhile, will travel to Deepdale to take on Preston North End.
